Review stage 1 Biology in healthcare by Mr Alejandro Cruz
Living
organisms
vary
widely
,
yet
all
share
fundamental
that
define
life
.
These
include
organization
,
metabolism
and
the
capacity
to
maintain
internal
balance
through
.
This
balance
allows
organisms
to
survive
despite
external
.
Even
unicellular
organisms
can
perform
all
vital
,
which
is
why
they
are
considered
living
.
In
contrast
,
entities
such
as
viruses
depend
entirely
on
a
host
cell
to
,
making
their
classification
controversial
.
The
study
of
life
at
all
levels
is
known
as
,
a
science
essential
to
understanding
health
and
disease
.
The
invention
of
the
microscope
made
it
possible
to
observe
cells
,
which
are
the
basic
units
of

Robert
Hooke
described
cells
while
observing
cork
,
although
the
cells
were

Later
observations
by
Leeuwenhoek
revealed
microorganisms
.
The
cell
theory
states
that
all
organisms
are
composed
of
cells
and
that
new
cells
arise
from
cells
.
Cells
can
be
classified
as
prokaryotic
or
eukaryotic
depending
on
the
presence
of
a

In
multicellular
organisms
,
similar
cells
group
into
,
which
then
form
organs
and
.
At
the
cellular
level
,
substances
move
across
the
plasma
membrane
by
different
mechanisms
.
Diffusion
and
osmosis
are
considered
transport
processes
because
they
do
not
require
.
Osmosis
specifically
involves
the
movement
of
through
a
semi
-
permeable
membrane
.
In
contrast
,
active
transport
moves
substances
against
a
concentration
.
These
cellular
processes
are
essential
for
homeostasis
in
organisms
.
In
humans
,
systems
such
as
the
nervous
and
endocrine
systems
work
together
to
regulate
conditions
.

factors
such
as
poor
diet
,
inactivity
and
early
pregnancy
can
have
long

effects
.
All
living
organisms
are
composed
of
,
which
are
the
basic
structural
and
functional
units
of

Cells
can
be
classified
into
two
main
types
:
prokaryotic
and
,
based
on
their
internal
organization
.
cells
are
generally
smaller
and
simpler
,
and
they
lack
a
-
bound
nucleus
.
Their
genetic
material
is
located
in
a
region
known
as
the
.
In
contrast
,
eukaryotic
cells
contain
a
nucleus
that
houses
DNA
and
allows
greater
control
of
cellular
activities
.
This
structural
difference
explains
why
eukaryotic
cells
are
usually
more
than
prokaryotic
cells
.
In
addition
to
the
,
eukaryotic
cells
contain
membrane
-
bound
organelles
such
as
mitochondria
,
endoplasmic
reticulum
and
Golgi
apparatus
,
which
allow
the
cell
to
perform
specialized
functions
.
Prokaryotic
cells
do
not
have
these

but
they
are
still
capable
of
carrying
out
life
processes
such
as
metabolism
and
reproduction
.

present
in
both
cell
types
and
are
responsible
for
synthesis
.
In
multicellular
eukaryotic
organisms
,
cells
differentiate
and
specialize
,
forming
and
organs
that
work
together
in

The
study
of
these
cellular
differences
is
essential
for
understanding

disease
and
many
processes
in
healthcare
and
.
Prokaryotic
cells
are
in
structure
but
highly

They
do
not
contain
a

instead
,
their
genetic
material
is
found
in
the

where
DNA
controls

The

the
movement
of
substances
into
and
out
of

while
the

and

responsible
for
protein
and
allow
the
cell
to
carry
out
essential
processes
.
Some
prokaryotic
cells
possess
a

which
increases
protection
and
helps
the
cell
adhere
to
surfaces
,
and
,
which
enable
movement
in
liquid
environments
.
Eukaryotic
cells
are
more
and
contain
a
nucleus
that
stores
and
protects

The

responsible
for
producing

cellular
respiration
,
supplying
energy
for
cellular
activities
.
The
reticulum
is
involved
in
the
synthesis
and
transport
of
proteins
and

while
ribosomes

to
